The Demons are a shell of the 2018 team that eventually lost to eventual premiers West Coast in a preliminary final so the Dockers, currently sixth on the ladder and with finals on the horizon, should be too strong for the Dees.

One TAB punter is full of confidence ahead of Sydney's clash with Hawthorn at the SCG on Friday night, placing $20,000 on the Swans to get the better of the Hawks at home.

For a team that looked completely out of sorts at the start of the AFL season, Sydney have turned a corner the past few weeks with close losses to TAB premiership favourites Collingwood and Geelong while also scoring an emphatic win over the Eagles two rounds ago.

A refreshed and rejuvenated Swans after the mid-season bye might be too much for a travelling Hawthorn team.

Fremantle are on the rise, having won three in a row. While not the highest-scoring team, their clashes with Melbourne are generally high scoring affairs and Saturday is a chance to register a big score.

Of their past five encounters between these two sides, the average is 166 points between them.

TAB's Total Points Over/Under is set at 161.5 points. If head-to-head history serves as a good indicator, expect the score to go over.

With no rain forecast, the weather won't be a hinderance for either team.
